This archived screenshot preserves Dominic Ponsford’s Press Gazette comment piece “The ‘golden rule’ of journalistic ethics and why BuzzFeed was wrong to publish Trump dossier”, published after BuzzFeed released the unverified Trump dossier as a raw document. The item is significant because Ponsford argued that BuzzFeed should not have published serious allegations in full without proper analysis, verification or adequate right of reply, and that the basic ethical test was whether a journalist would be comfortable defending the same conduct in public or before a court. The screenshot matters in the wider CEN/BuzzFeed evidence chain because it shows a respected UK media editor criticising BuzzFeed’s judgment on a separate major story, underlining a wider pattern of publishing highly damaging allegations while relying on the defence that readers could assess the material for themselves. Ben Smith later accepted that publishing the dossier in that form had been a mistake, making this article relevant to the broader question of whether BuzzFeed’s confidence, speed and moral certainty sometimes ran ahead of proper journalistic discipline. Read alongside the CEN litigation material, this item helps document the gap between BuzzFeed’s claim to be exposing misinformation and its own willingness to publish material whose truth had not been properly established.
